In South Korea the latest models, which cost around $300, use a technology called EV-DO and can access the Internet at a rate of up to 2.4 megabits per second. That is about four times as fast as the general packet radio service (GPRS) phones, the most sophisticated models currently sold in Europe, and 250 times speedier than Japan's i-mode service.
